5:42 am
call for an evacuation and get them out of the building. deputy chief john donnelly explained to me why warehouses it be such a high-risk situation for firefighters. >> warehouses are dangerous identify lot of reasons. one of them is they're secure so they are hard to get in. that keeps burglars out but it also serves to keep firemen out. the second thing is it is a lot of material store in the a very small space and stored in ways that, fay fire does start, it can spread very quickly. that appears to be what happened here that the fire spread quickly and it was very challenging to put out. >> reporter: so it took until about 3:30 this morning for them to get all the flame knocked down. they had gone through the second floor and through the roof and spread to some of the adjacent buildings. the challenge now is we've got a lot of people coming in trying to get to work at some of these warehouses for this morning and they are not going
